My mate recently had his R33 GTST put on the dyno. Ran up 319RWHP..only engine mods are air filter, 3"exhaust from the cat back, front mount and running 1Bar boost. Guys at the workshop say it should be only pushing out around the 260RWHP mark which sounds about right.

I always thought something was weird about his car as my R33 had the same mods plus some extra and still struggled to keep up...

We thought it was a standard turbo and it looks as though it has never been replaced or the heat shielding removed.... any thoughts???? is there an easy way to check what turbo without pulling to much apart??

oh oh Steve remember MrGTST (Bretts) r33..he has a stock turbo and pulls 302rwhp...had you boys wondering if there was any other work done to it!! It was a freak of a car...makes power for no reason!!

Yes Phil but these cars had no sign of anything touched but there has to be something uprated but theres always signs of nuts and bolts with spanner marks and sealers etc and often other upgrades like airpods dumps etc not just a turbo upgrade.Spose the only way we will ever know is when the cars need their Turbos removed or modded..

high power is one thing, safety is another.

any workshop can lean out a car, put timing into it, to get it to make power, but at the end of the day it will be a time bomb.

i personally would sacrific abit of power to have a safety margin with the motor.

just be careful what goes on, i would like to think u would be very upset it your destroy a motor just for some extra power.

also the dyno run could be dodgy, who knows what the inlet temps where.

Its not lean or advanced it made almost the same power as it sat and its on an 06 accredited dyno.Top racing is a currant shootout shop.

The car Wildcat talks of did its power on another Dyno also.

WE may not be even talking the same car ar HIPSI has not said yet.

I dont think the car is stock as i said before but it shows no signs of any work having been done.

As said before time will tell whats in them.

Topracing claim no credit for this car as it already had the power.

I just looked at the file Made 313 and we turned it back to 299 because the Datascan showed 24deg timing at 6500 to 7000rpm and theres a power dip at 6000 and the scan showed only 10deg timing at that point so it really needs an ECU swap.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
